Coffee For Twins [Eve]

It was the usual lunch meeting between the twins. Even if Harmony ran around on her leash, she would end up going to lunch with her sister always. She was fine with this; she loved her sister after all. It's just that she wanted freedom and space to go on her love search. Which...was going poorly up until she found a certain djinn. Now she wasn't sure about their relationship, but she did know that she felt feelings for him. He felt right somehow. The fact that he protected her definitely helped. It was enough to make her space out.

The dreamy redhead was early for the luncheon. As she waited for Melody, she began sketching in her notebook. She was drawing a rough sketch of Ignus based on her memory. A smile was on her face as the pencil scratched against the page. She finished the guidelines and began adding the features. Despite her precise drawing, she was clearly spacing out. It was like a child doodling in a notebook during a boring lesson. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the footsteps going by her table.

@"Evelyn"

Thinking about it, it had been a while since she properly dated someone. Many of the recent attempts fell through. Well...it was more accurate to that it had been a while since she felt this way for someone. The beautiful feeling of a developing crush. She just about finished the rough sketch when her sister's voice pierced her ears. Uh oh!

"Nothing!"

She quickly scrambled away from the grabby hands and blushed wildly as she held onto her sketchbook. She was a really good artist when it came to 2D drawing, but she only sketched her friends, sister, and her crushes.

With the way she was drawing Ignus, this was clearly not just a friend.

"I was just drawing while thinking of stuff. It probably doesn't look that good anyway..."

That was utter bullshit, and her twin sister probably knew it. She realized that she told a lie and her mouth instinctively twisted. Harmony disliked lies, and she would often twitch or twist her mouth whenever she told one. It was a particular habit that her body picked up. Her hand slipped the pencil into the tiny spirals of the sketchbook. Her love journal would have been an even more incriminating sight, but that was both private and also not in her possession at the moment. It was in its hiding spot at home that no one but her was aware of.

"I arrived early today~"

Ah yes, the awkward subject change. Yeah, she was probably screwed. A sweet smile flashed upon the lovesick twin's face.

@"Evelyn"

At least Melody didn't seem angry. That would have been a problem! The "good" twin of the two could not lie. They were too close to one another for that. Her sister was also quite strong. As much as she didn't want to give up the book, she also didn't want to rip it. After some resistance she let go as the sketchbook was confiscated. She could see those eyes scanning the drawing. Something about her eyes seemed...off. She wasn't sure what, but it made her nervous. Harmony played with her hair.

"Ignus. Ignus Agni. He's a fire djinn."

To make matters even more awkward, the two of them had a contract. This contract bound the djinn to her regardless of if they were dating or not. He was her protector, and it was his duty to make sure that she was safe. She was just thankful that they didn't have to meet right now. That would be embarrassing since they weren't officially dating yet. She wasn't sure how to explain the deal to her. It would also alert her to another issue...

The fact that without Melody, Harmony was utterly defenseless against the town crazies that wanted her booty.

She had no fighting abilities, her powers were less developed, and she was more inclined to run than fight. However the exes that weren't dead were crazy. Some of them assholes, but all of them crazy. If she showed the love journal to her sister, then maybe this would be solved but...she didn't want to do that. She wanted to take of it herself! ....and it was failing miserably.

@"Evelyn"

Oh boy, now she had to share her relationship status with Ignus. Of course that would be the next question. She didn't really have much of anything else on her mind; her parents were of no concern to her. They could burn in a ditch for all she cared. They never gave a single damn about either of them and were so wrapped up in their problems that they never gave the twins any attention. She was ostracized for being a witch despite her best efforts to make their relationship work. None of that worked, and the blame was pinned on her for being the cause of many problems.

The good twin, bad twin dichotomy was much more complex than the black and white titling would suggest, but it seemed that Melody constantly worked towards that goal. Her idea of Yin and Yang was to match the white and black on the symbol. Harmony meanwhile aimed to rise beyond that. She didn't want to stay within the goody two-shoes category like she never did anything wrong. Yet all she felt most of the time was an artificial sense of joy. Whenever she was drained of her negative emotions, she felt that part of her happiness, however real it was, just didn't seem quite right.

The redhead smiled obliviously at her sister as their hands touched. The nervousness from before evaporated steadily. She didn't truly know what was happening, but the emotion behind her reasoning was gone.

"We're already in a relationship!~ Sort of. He made a contract with me."

Even if her sister didn't attend classes, she had to have known the basics of djinn relations. Knowing that djinns could make contracts with people that acted as partnerships was beginner level stuff. Even normal human children knew that thanks to the wonders of Disney. Of course it worked differently than how Aladdin addressed it.

"I'm not sure if he really likes me or if he just wants to protect me though."
